couldn't find this posted anywhere else.
ESPN has a poll asking for an opinion on the game's winner.
The poll is pretty lopsided now, needs some TWW dedication to regain a NCSU lead.

12/5/2005 9:49:59 PM

hahahhahaha

12/5/2005 9:53:34 PM

Why do they think we would go 5-2 in the Big East and yet still think we will lose?

12/5/2005 9:55:17 PM

The only ones I really disagree with are which team has the edge on defense and their record in the ACC.

I havent seen them play so I dont know who will win.


But seriously...they have and edge on our D?


BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...the only reason we made a bowl is our D.








and I just saw this on ESPN.com:

Why to watch (ivan maisel)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You got me. Williams is an attraction to draftniks. To watch the Wolfpack, you have to like defense and penalties.

12/5/2005 10:06:37 PM

^I was just about to post "To watch the Wolfpack, you have to like defense and penalties."

12/5/2005 10:07:17 PM

thats kinda a low blow. we've pretty much fixed the penalty problem. we're pretty much average in that respect now.

12/5/2005 10:10:33 PM

USF has the #7 pass defense in the nation. look what they did to brian brohm. the defense question isnt that far off.

[Edited on December 5, 2005 at 10:16 PM. Reason : .]

12/5/2005 10:15:50 PM

Do you actually think we're planning on passing the ball any?

12/5/2005 10:24:15 PM

^seriously. what's their rush defense like?

12/5/2005 10:29:22 PM

their andre has more hype and numbers, but our andre is up and coming

they're giving up 143 rush yards per game...which is over our average rushing yards per game. Probably doesnt mean shit though.

12/5/2005 11:36:57 PM

fuck my lack of internet researching skills

12/6/2005 12:04:56 AM

if we can just get some big guys up front that can fall foward we can run the ball and be alright

12/6/2005 12:42:45 AM

It's scary to think that USF was only two games away from playing in the Sugar Bowl.

12/6/2005 1:06:27 AM

^^^nah, you can research just fine. You were first to post it

12/6/2005 1:15:52 AM

12/6/2005 11:39:36 AM

lol, either they're really dedicated, or they are out cheating us

12/6/2005 1:57:26 PM

12/6/2005 3:24:51 PM

poll skew proof right there. The only people voting on this thing are pack fans and bulls fans

12/7/2005 12:43:23 PM

I know i voted about 80 times yesterday while at work :-)

12/7/2005 2:24:43 PM

LOL this is so great

at 5000 votes we were losing in like every catagory

now we're DOMINATING

12/7/2005 2:28:42 PM

I voted 'No,' that the game wasn't worth watching

12/7/2005 2:39:45 PM

^^yup, they can't hold up against the TWW poll skewing team

12/7/2005 3:59:27 PM

I love skewing polls. It's a habit of mine. I'm running several programs that have been voting constantly since I got to work this morning. They run in the background, so I don't have to worry about not being able to use other programs.... Skewing to the maximum....

12/7/2005 6:33:00 PM

We should actually skew it the other way so that if we happen to lose, it doesn't look as bad
